Ugh

I had a terrible summer with my computer. It started acting up almost as soon as I got home, and I finally broke down and took it to the Apple shop. We tried reinstalling software, zeroing all data, and all sorts of tricks to make sure it wasn't a virus... only to figure out (at last) that it was the motherboard. And maybe a few other small hardware related problems. At the end of the day, repairs were going to cost a fair bit, and there was a promotion on the MacBook... so, I'm now using a new laptop.

I haven't given up on the old one, though. I'm going to do the repairs on it myself, saving a ton of money. I'll give it to my friend when it is fixed up, and let her enjoy a pretty big upgrade from what she is using. Should be fun for all. At least, once I get the time to sit down and do it.
